A LOUISIANA DOCTOR COMMITS SUICIDE At THE HOUR
FOR HIS WEDDING.
Some days ago DR.. John A. Cullom, prominent
physician, Of Avoyelles Parish, La, came to New
orleans for the purpose OF getting married. He
had been sick for some time, but had apparently
recovered. wednesday he made all the arrange
ments for his marriage and was very cheerful when
he babe his sweetheart good-by. That night he
went to q secOnd-class lOdg1ng-house and en-
gagged q room. Two hours later the landlord
rushed into the police station and announced that
his lodger was dead. Policemen went to the
scenes and, learning OF the recent illness OF
DR.. Cullom, attributed his death to natural causes.
Thursday morning when the coroner pulled away
the sheet which covered the corpse huge gash
was discovered in the side OF the neck, and the
breast was covered with clotted blood. In the
pockets were found two plain gold wedding rings
and pOcIet-knife stained with blood. IL was then
apparent that Dr. Cullom had become Respondent,
and opening vein In the neck, laid down on the
floor TO bleed to death. The knife was carefully
closed and replaced in the pocket. Meantime, at
the residence or the young lady who Is said 10 be
a public school teacher, all arrangements had
been made for the wedding. A number OF guests
had assembled, and the coming OF the brides room
was impatientiy awaited. The party did not be-
come uneasy until O'Clock, when, DR.. Culom
failing TO put In an appearance, they became
anxious about him. and the lady's relatives were
sent down town TO look for him. He had not told
them where he was stopping, and nothing was
known or his death until Thursday morning, when
IL was published In the papers. IL was supposed
that he died suddenly Of heart disease, and the
became known that he had met his death by his
hand

W0snimGtOMs

In tho case Of Rev. F. n. Todd, the arguments
were concluded yesterday afternoon and the case
referred to the presbytery for it verdict
The Presbytssy met In secret session at the New
York Avenue Church to-day to take nnal action
In the case. There were seventeen members

The verdict was made up and then the presby-
terry took q recess until O'Clock, ordering that

Upon reassembling at O'Clock the judiciary

lows: That under the provisions OF our form
OF government chapter g. section So.
q charge may be proven by the testimony Of one
witness only when supported by other evidence.

Coercion Again Debated.

Mr.. GIADSToNEs FINAL EFFoRT-A GREAT SPEECH
SUMMING CP THE CASE.
MrGladstone made very powerful speech In the
house OF commons last night In support OF his mo-
ton to postpone the third reading OF the crimes
bill for three months. He said that the bill was
conservative alternative to home rule, and was
different from any ordinary coercion bill. He said
that the bill had been brought without any founda-
ton no exceptional crime existing TO demand *.
A comparison OF past and present statistics az
forded no shadow OF justification for the present
measure. Another contrast was that past parlia-
ments had been nearly unanimous In asserting to
coercion, while this bill was opposed by large
minority In the house and by q majority OF the
people OF the country majority that was not
likely to diminish. [CheerSl II parliament re-
tanned any regard for the traditions or liberty or
OF party usages the measure would be abandoned.
What could they urge to warrant such inva-
sion OF the peoples noertesf Ireland, he said was
held by mastery, but the government refused TO
learn that mastery involved responsibility. They
knew that the whole literature OF the world was
against them. He challenged the government TO
mention any authority who had reviewed the re-
larions between England and Ireland without
arriving at q home-rule solution. II was evident
that the present state or affairs could not last
long, as Mr.. Gladstone believed that every day
tended TO bring the tories nearer their doom.
Mr.. Balfour replied TO MI. Gladstone. arguing
the justification or the government In its course.
After Major Saunderson and Attorney General
Webster had replied on behalf OF the government
the debate was adjourned.
